Growing up in Ethiopia,Bekele found in pity that people working outside were likely to end up getting skin cancer.Skin cancer did have cures and was treatable in most cases.However,the average price of skin cancer treatment globally was almost $40,000.Those shocking statistics really inspired him to create a more accessible solution.He started doing experiments and working on different things,and that turned into his bar of soap as a project. A lot of his research and development started in his family's kitchen and in his basement.But as he reached the final of the competition,he realized that he did need to do a little bit more outside of just his house.So he reached out to people at the University of Virginia and people at Georgetown University, and he got a lot of assistance.The number one person would be Deborah Isabelle,who helped him organize-and structure his ideas during the finals.Bekele said that he definitely couldn't have done that all by himself. Bekele's award-winning soap is a compound-based bar of soap and it's charged with different cancer-fighting chemicals.The color of the soap is a bit of a dark type of white and it has a rough surface,which could be a good exfoliant )It does have a strong medicine smell and feel a bit stickier.The whole point of it is that even once you wash off the soaps,the medicinal parts will stay on your skin.It can activate the body's immune cells to defend cancer. Bekele won 25,000 prize money andhe was going to use it to continue research.He said,"I still need a lot of resources to be able to conduct this research,so this money will definitely help me achieve i北.” 24.Why did Heman Bekele start working on creating the soap?

C.What chemicals the soap contains. D.How the soap is produced. 27.Which words can be used to describe Bekele according to the passage? A.Patient and talented. B.Friendly and ambitious.

Indigenous stories serve as windows into the different cultures worldwide.Each story is a unique expression of a community's worldview,shaped by its history,environment and spiritual beliefs. Through these stories,we gain a deeper appreciation for the different ways people view the world.And by telling their stories,indigenous peoples invite others to look into their traditions,developing empathy()and promoting a more interconnected world where different cultures are celebrated and respected. Many indigenous stories explore themes of creation and the interconnectedness of the spiritual and material fields.Through these tales,individuals find a sense of purpose and connection to something greater than themselves.Indigenous stories provide stories of overcoming challenges,of not giving up in the face of hardship,and of the interconnectedness that combines communities together.In this way, storytelling promotes healing on both individual and communal levels. While indigenous stories are of great importance,their continuation is threatened.For example,the impact of modernization has disturbed traditional storytelling practices.The use of indigenous stories for commercial purposes also hurts their authenticity().Fortunately,despite these challenges,there's a growing global recognition of the need to preserve and reinstate indigenous stories. Language restoration programs play an important role in preserving indigenous stories.They focus on teaching and bringing endangered languages back,which helps oral stories pass down.Cooperative projects between indigenous communities and external partners,such as researchers and storytellers, contribute to the record and preservation of oral traditions.Digital platforms,podcasts,and interactive media provide opportunities to share indigenous stories with a global audience,raising awareness about the importance of indigenous storytelling. 28.What can be learned about indigenous stories from paragraph 2? A.They teach people how to live worldwide.B.They improve our ability to tell stories. C.They promote cross-culture understanding.D.They are a symbol of wisdom and spirits. 29.What do indigenous stories mean for people in trouble? A.Signs of identity. B.Sources of strength. C.Means of survival. D.Forms of pleasure. 30.What does the underlined word"reinstate"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Learn. B.Restore. C.Interpret. D.Adapt. 31.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A.Efforts to preserve indigenous stories. B.Impacts of the interactive mass media. C.Ways to share stories with the audience. D.Attitudes towards passing down stories. 第5页共10页 扫描全能王创建 0 When it''s time for a wardrobe makeover(形象改造)，who's the best person to give you some advice? You'll probably turn to your friend for some feedback and fashion tips--they know you best and can offer an honest opinion about which colours don't match and which outfit makes you look pretty However for someone like me,who's not a follower of fashion and has a more practical dress sense, I don't need help----it's just jeans or...jeans!But for people who care about their appearance,they can now get some trustworthy advice with the aid of technology. Of course,using social media is a good way when you are at a loss about fashion,but this sometimes brings in too much conflicting advice and opinions that are sometimes straight forward! That's why one woman has developed an app to help women crowd source advice from stylists in a safe, non-violent communication environment. Sophia Matveeva's Style Counsel app allows users to post a photo and receive "yes"or"no" answers from other users,or more detailed advice from fashion stylists and bloggers very quickly. According to Matthew wall,BBC Technology of Business editor,this is a growing business,with several new apps such as AskAnna,Mallzee and StyleDotMe all offering young women tips on suitable and fashionable clothes to wear. There's also a website called EyeFitU which finds clothes to fit your figure.Its chief executive, Isabelle Ohnemus,says there are no international standards in clothes sizes but she explains,"We can set up your size profile in a few seconds with 80%accuracy just knowing your gender,height,weight and age".This information is used to find clothes that suit your actual shape.And the internet giant,Amazon, has also developed a camera that links to a"style check"function that compares photos and gives its opinion of which outfit is better,based on fit,colour,style and current fashion trends. But does technology make fashion advice a bit impersonal?Sophia Matveeva admits that women in particular are social creatures and that "AI will never stop us talking to each other...girls will always want the approval of the cool girl at school."But as for me:an app with someone I don't know could be the place to start with some careful-in-speech fashion tips! 32.What is the problem of asking for fashion advice on social media? A.No feedback. B.Dishonest opinions. C.Too many choices. D.Contradictory advice. 33.Who are the possible target users of the fashion apps? A.Cool boys at school. B.Young women fashion-goers. C.Fashion stylists and bloggers. D.People with a practical dress sense. 3-4.How does the website EyeFitU help users find suitable clothes? A.By developing a super camera. B.By assessing current fashion trends. C.By analyzing users'basic information. D.By setting agreed standards for clothes sizes. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Fashion Anxiety B.New Fashion Trends C.Wardrobe Decoration D.Tech-driven Fashion Advice 第6页共10页 扫描全能王创建 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Every year,Tyler VanderWeele chooses a six-week period to do things for others that might ordinarily seem too inconvenient.36 He might give a friend an unexpected gift,invite someone out for coffee,set aside time at work to support a colleague,or bring a family member's favorite food to the dinner table. 37 Such acts of kindness can not only make the giver and recipient feel good,but they can also promote our psychological and physical health in surprising ways.There's convincing evidence that kindness is linked with a number of aspects of health and well-being.Some studies have indicated it can improve happiness and a sense of engagement with life and reduce symptoms of anxiety.38 An international trial published online by Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology suggested that kindness decreases social isolation and loneliness,which are increasingly linked to a variety of negative health effects.There's growing research that our bodies benefit too,with kindness associated with lower blood pressure and stress levels. And focused efforts matter.39 Performing five selfless acts on a single day each week for six weeks,as VanderWeele does,benefits more than spreading them over the course of a week.For instance,consistent volunteerism,a form of sustained kindness,is connected with living longer and functioning better as we age. But is kindness born or made?How can kindness be developed?It may be more challenging for some,but reflecting on times when others have been kind to you can create more kindness.Pick one day a week for six straight weeks to do five kind things.40 A.His good deeds are many and varied. B.That person goes on to act more kindly. C.Over time,you can become a kinder person D.It also increases a sense of social connectedness. E.You may believe yourself to be a very kind person. F.These examples are more than just random displays of generosity.
